Don Cherry shares his thoughts on Johnny Gaudreau's decision, and he's not a fan
Don Cherry is a Canadian Icon, and despite having his Hockey Night in Canada platform he still provides his thoughts on his weekly Grapevine Podcast. On the latest episode Cherry tackled the matter of Johnny Gaudreau signing with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Cherry shared the following thoughts on Gaudreau's decision.
I don't understand Johnny Hockey. Why would he go to Columbus? It's beyond me... I have no idea.
I don't understand it... the only thing I can think of is there's no pressure there.
They are gonna take it easy there, and they'll win, and they will make the playoffs, and that will be it. But I don't understand it if you're a competitor. Take Gretzky and Orr, I mean they would have never gone there if they had their choice, they wanna win.
We'll see how many goals he gets next year.

It's clear Cherry feels that Gaudreau ran from Calgary because he didn't want to be held to a high standard. Gaudreau won't have the pressure in Columbus that he would have in Calgary, and maybe that's how he wanted it.
Either way it's easy to see that Gaudreau took the road less traveled and we will see how that works out for Johnny Hockey.
